This week we have three lots of competition results for you, which is always a good sign that the weather has been reasonably clement of late! The Pro Shop indoor winter league continues until the end of Feb. And the breaking news is that we’ve just secured Karl Morris to come and speak at the club in June. Please read on for more details.
Karl Morris
First off, this is not Noelle’s husband (despite him being a very nice chap too!)
I am delighted to announce that the other Karl is presenting to us on Monday 9th June from 1900 – 2030. He actually did a talk for us in my first year here at Hale, back in 2009 so I thought it was high time we got him back!
Karl’s presentation will be fun and informative. As you can see from the poster, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in golf but also spends alot of his time working with grass roots golfers. I’m confident that if you implement some of his suggestions, your golf will improve.
I went on a three day course that he ran in November 2023, which was fantastic. It was held in Manchester but delegates travelled from all over to be there – Irealnd, Belgium, Holland, Singapore, & the USA.
You won’t have any such logistical issues as it’s going to take place in the HGC dining room! Tickets are priced at £20 each.
I know this event is a bit different from the norm so I’d really appreciate you supporting it and making it financially viable by reserving your space.
